Vertigofirearms Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Figured out an issue with installing the 20 gauge shell stop latch. You can not use the M1014/M4 follower; a M2 follower or similar must be used. Works 100% now. Quote

Yep, the hinged 20ga latch holds the shell just a bit father forward than a 12 ga latch (and can contact some followers)...and don't try to drill & tap the 20ga latch for an oversize release button. 1 Quote

As a single round button, it doesn’t matter which direction it’s pointing. But once you try and attach an oversized button that needs to stay in a fixed position. That’s when you see the problem. I should’ve read the forums before installing. Lesson learned! Trying to figure a way to stop it from spinning, I just haven’t had the time recently.

Also is it possible to drill and tap it for enlarged (round) button installation? Thanks Quote

Thanks If the 20ga latch in your gun is hinged like the one on the right in this picture then you CANNOT drill/tap it for an enlarged button. The post is hollow (contains a spring) and will not accommodate a screw. Quote

Pity there are no other reliable options to make loading easier. Quote
